Hii, 

Once i meshed the solid in ANSA, i imported the file .h3d as a flexbody to the suspension already opened at motionview for an MBD Analysis. So the problem is that the nodes of the solid ( lower triangle suspension) entered as a flexible body didn't coincide with the corresponding interface points in the model as shown below. What should i do to solve the problem ? I really need your help!!!!

    Hi Riham,

    The cad or flexible body you are using is not at the same coordinate system so you are seeing  difference there...to bring it at correct location you have to position that lower control arm in HM or any cad tool and then bring it in MBD model mounting location... please let us know how it goes after positioning...

    Riham,

     

    You can position control arm using Position tool in HyperMesh.

     

    Create the hard points of the CA in HyperMesh using nodes panel (F8 is the shortcut)

    Goto Tools page>> Position>> Position the nodes of the new control arm to the created nodes
